Shadows - Apache 1964 Released 1960
The Shadows are an English instrumental and vocal rock and roll group active from the 1950s to the 2000s
"Apache" is an instrumental written by Jerry Lordan. It has been recorded by many artists, but the first released version was recorded by British group The Shadows in June 1960 and released the following month. The song topped the UK singles chart for five weeks. In March 2005, Q magazine placed "Apache" at number 96 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks.
In North America, The Shadows' original version is unknown, and the song is identified with Jørgen Ingmann, a jazz guitarist from Denmark. In 1961, Ingmann produced a cover version that, billed to "Jørgen Ingmann and His Guitar," made number two on the US pop chart, and number one on Canada's CHUM Chart.

The Shadows were also known for backing Cliff Richard, the "English Elvis" during the sixties ! They were very popular in Europe at this time and sure deserved it!
I also bought the Venture's Telstar album around 1964 but I thought Jorgen Ingmann did Apache first. He had the only top 40 hit version of the song. It made it to number 2 in 1961.
